The Milei Government presented the National Informative Community, coordinated by the SIDE.

The Government of Javier Milei presented the National Informative Community (CIFN), a framework for coordinating the intelligence system that is managed by the State Intelligence Secretariat (SIDE).

The initiative integrates and organizes the flow of information among various state agencies with the aim of improving the capacity to anticipate risks, confront threats, and detect strategic opportunities, replicating successful models like that of the United States.

Through a statement released on the social network X, SIDE explained the scope of the system: “The National Informative Community (CIFN), coordinated by SIDE, allows different state agencies to share information quickly, securely, and in an organized manner.”

In that same vein, the agency added: “Thanks to the exchange, dispersed information can be transformed into useful intelligence to anticipate and confront risks, threats, and identify opportunities.”

How the CIFN is Structured

The framework presented by the Government is organized into different levels, with a central core and several rings of articulation.

At the center is the State Intelligence Secretariat (SIDE), which will function as the main node of the system, responsible for collecting, processing, and coordinating strategic information.

The second level corresponds to the National Intelligence System, composed of agencies specialized in intelligence and counterintelligence tasks.

Among them are the Argentine Intelligence Service (SIA), the Federal Cyber Intelligence Agency (AFC), the National Counterintelligence Agency (ANC), the General Inspectorate of Intelligence (IGI), the National Criminal Intelligence Directorate (DNIC), and the General Directorate of Intelligence of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (DGIEMCO).

Outside of this core is a third level composed of ministries and technical agencies that, while not part of the espionage system, generate key information for national security.

The Strategic Areas of the System

This external ring is organized into major areas:

• Security: Includes the Ministry of Security, along with agencies such as RENAR, Immigration, and the National Commission for the Control of Sensitive Exports and Military Material.

• Justice: Includes the Ministry of Justice, which provides information along with RENAPER.

• Foreign Affairs: Managed by the Foreign Ministry, focused on international policy and the geopolitical front.

• Cybersecurity: Represented by the National Cybersecurity Center, focused on the protection of critical digital infrastructures.

• Space: Coordinated by the National Commission on Space Activities (CONAE), which provides satellite information.

• Nuclear: Composed of the National Atomic Energy Commission (CNEA) and the Nuclear Regulatory Authority (ARN), responsible for overseeing the atomic sector.

Additionally, the Customs Regulation and Control Agency (ARCA), formerly AFIP, is included as a key player in fiscal and customs monitoring and in detecting potential money laundering maneuvers.

With this structure, the Government aims to replicate international models of intelligence coordination, such as that of the United States, centralizing the strategic information of the State in a unified system with greater response capacity.
